A fairly simple one. I will only describe how the seek bar works, and part of how commands are recognized by arduino (arduino code). I will do another one about bluetooth another day.

I don’t have the full source code anymore, but I have the sourcecode for the APP i used to control my hexapod robot, go to that post and scroll down to the bottom.
